This variable sets the calibration reflectivity, which is referenced to 1.0 km. Changes in
this variable result in a one-to-one change in the output reflectivity data levels. For
example, if the reflectivity level tables specify 5 dBZ levels, a 5 dB change in this will be
reflected as a shift of one level.
